Fragile, pretty, and blue (?)

fragile dolls

We passed by a souvenir shop along Hang Dao Street in Hanoi where an array of doll displays could be found. I remember whenever someone from the office would travel to Vietnam, they always bring home this figurine dolls as pasalubong (presents/keepsake). I bought one for myself. I was torn between the pink and the blue doll. I chose the latter. I am forever blue. ;-)

From the bustling streets of Bangkok to the chancy traffic of Hanoi…finally I am back!

Bangkok traffic

Nothing beats Manila traffic. Bangkok is simply a walk in the park. I was trying to get used to Thai's right hand drive and opted to sit beside our very friendly driver/host, Vitchu who will take us to our hotel at Rachadaphisek. I noticed how he tried to throw some glimpses at my enthusiam to take home some souvenir photos of their city.


Hanoi traffic

But while I could take the Bangkok traffic at an ease, crossing the street in Hanoi is like a suicide (well, almost). These motos drive me crazy. The rule is...the motorcycle drivers will adjust to the pedestrians and not the other way around. This shot was taken in one of the hustling streets of Hanoi on our way to Vinh Phuc Province.

I will try to post 'a little of everything' about this trip in the next few weeks. The trip lasted for a week but it felt like 'forever'. Hehehe.
